D., PHILADELPHIA, PROFESSOR OF CLINICAL SURGERY^ UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYL-VANIA; SURGEON TO THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS. The difficulties that attend any attempt on thepart of the surgeon to expose, much less removetumors from the cerebellum, differ very materiallyfrom those encountered in tumors of the cerebrum.Speaking upon this subject on another occasion Isaid that it seemed as though, in encompassing thecerebellum with such large cranial sinuses, naturehas intimated that this organ was never to be sub-jected to exposure at the hands of the surgeon.When one takes into consideration the position ofthe la
